The Skin You're In

Your largest organ also happens to be the most phenomenal fabric known to man. Self-healing, temperature regulating and perfectly tailored to fit each individual, it’s with us from the day we’re born and it lasts throughout our lives. Yet for many of us, it takes a lifetime to figure out how to feel comfortable in it. It’s THE SKIN YOU’RE IN and we’re looking at it from many perspectives: as an epigenetic wonder, a canvas for self-expression, a burden and a blessing.

Though bemoaned by wedding planners across the land, this unprecedented shift in the state of our unions reflects the new nuances of nubility: the introduction of gay marriage, the rise in women’s earning power, the paradox of choice presented by online dating, the harsh realities of divorce. For the Generation known as X, "I do" is increasingly just one of many possibilities. All of this and more in THE STATE OF OUR UNIONS.

Do-It-Yourself

Well before the recession started bludgeoning job prospects and 401(k)s into oblivion, legions of crafty types were packing heat as a form of financial self-defense. Hot glue guns, that is, as well as knitting needles, bone folders, circular saws and various other potentially-injurious-but-highly-useful implements. A timely answer to the fall in discretionary income, the revival of Do-It-Yourself Culture in the U.S. has also generated a new respect for individuals with the creativity and tenacity  to take an idea, bring it to life and share it with the masses.

While you’re at it, have you checked out our brand new Facebook page and Twitter feed?

It’s good to have you here.
